The selected passage is highlighted. Context is a study aid.

7:14For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.

7:15For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.

7:16If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.

7:17Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

7:18For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.

7:19For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.

7:20Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

7:21I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.

7:22For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:

7:23But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

7:24O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

Selected passage

7:25I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
